It was stupid that a prerequisite to fighting was filling your inventory with buckets of water, but I also do see the argument that there's an element of stupid in having whoever runs out of stamina first lose, too. I'm open to compromises between the two that might strike a better balance.
seems sorta simpel to me...
give shit weight. whoever carries more weight runs out of stamina first :P
make it scale a little with str and or con. voila.

someone in platemail shouldnt be able to run as fast/long as someone in linen

Try drinking water while running at full speed IRL. One of two things is going to happen:

* you slow down in order to focus on coordinating your drinking and running properly
* you're going to choke and cough really really hard
(I've done one or both of these things on a few occasions)

Easiest implementation i can think of: Drinking while running reduces your movement speed somewhat, to say 80 or 90% of your selected movement speed.

Another option is to add a % chance to choke on the water if drinking while moving. This would cause your toon to stop moving, and possibly have a short cooldown/recovery period before doing anything else. Taking it a step further, the faster you're moving the higher the chance to choke.

If y'all are feeling particularly sadistic, rundrinking could result in both reduced movement speed and choke chance.

Mods could open a new thread for the running in battle chat. Its a good one and devs are interested on it.

Just place it in the front of a boat or a Knarr and we have a Titanic scene. xD

Yeah having stockpile taproots would make a chestless man happy. I mean most other fiber related items are, so why not taproots?
